Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo, queried 2026-11-14 for 'Rabanus in Matthaeum' and for 'Rabanus Maurus', returns no separate edition of the Genesis commentary - it appears only in Migne's collected opera (PL 107-112, the 1864-1878 reprint) - and the English-language Rabanus records are the 2023 translation of On the Formation of Clergy (Fathers of the Church, Mediaeval Continuation 21), the Cistercian volume on the Life of St Mary Magdalene, and studies. A combined query for Corpus Christianorum in Translation with Rabanus returns no volume at all. Continental scholarship is better served: Sources chrétiennes 533 (2009) publishes French versions of two medieval commentaries on Ruth, one of them Hrabanus', which shows the pattern rather than supplying an English one. No complete or partial English translation of the Genesis commentary was located.

Four books on Genesis, the most substantial Carolingian commentary on that book and a compilation that carries a millennium of patristic reading into the ninth century. Without a translation, the work that framed Latin creation exegesis until the twelfth century is available only in Migne's columns or in fragments quoted in modern studies.
